[Why does everyone keep asking him that? He'd think if anyone met the kids it'd be obvious enough, and he doesn't even know yet that it's true for Mat, too. It's so obvious that he laughs at Castiel about it. He'd like to think nothing completely excuses their humanity, but that isn't an easy argument to make, but in Lucifer's defense... he wasn't closer to human than angel a few years ago.

He tells Castiel the same thing he had mentally written to Kyle, similarly spoken to Istredd.] They're like me. Volatile and shouting at the world to be heard, to come out on top. [Another laugh.] Destructive and without outlet, trying to find some semblance of control over their lives. [That last part is a little too revealing for Lucifer, but he ignores it.]
